Venus square Neptune
Friends say that you’re over romanticizing things and that’s probably true. It’s been known to happen when Venus, the planet of love, forms a square to Neptune, the planet of illusion. Venus doesn’t want to say no to romance. And Neptune doesn’t want to break the spell. You can expect to be hopelessly infatuated when these two planetary energies get caught up in each other’s heavenly embrace. But what’s the harm in it really? Wouldn’t you rather be in love than out of it? As the Countess de Lave says in Clare Boothe Luce’s play The Women: “Oh l’amour, l’amour. How it can let you down . . . and oh, how it can pick you up again.” Signs most affected: Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces
